U.S. Soccer calls on San Jose Earthquakes stars Goodson, Wondolowski

SAN JOSE -- Earthquakes stars Chris Wondolowski and Clarence Goodson have been added to the U.S. national team roster for the Americans' final two World Cup qualifying games, U.S. Soccer announced Thursday.

Goodson, who has worked his way back onto the national team, played last month when the United States defeated Mexico 2-0 to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Wondolowski went on a tear during the 2013 Gold Cup over the summer, scoring five goals to earn a share of the Golden Boot as the tournament's top scorer along with Landon Donovan and Gabriel Torres of Panama.

The United States finishes the CONCACAF hexagonal Friday against Jamaica in Kansas City and Tuesday at Panama. The 13th-ranked Americans have a one-point lead over Costa Rica at the top of the group and has the chance to finish in first place in CONCACAF qualifying for the third consecutive cycle.

The Earthquakes, who don't play again until Oct. 20, have six players on national team duty. Besides Goodson and Wondolowski, Victor Bernardez and Marvin Chavez are representing Honduras, Steven Beitashour is joining Iran and Cordell Cato has been called in by Trinidad and Tobago.
